这对曾经传过不和而拆夥多年的搭档去年底决定会在今年澳网合体， 在澳网前的热身赛拿下冠军！ 这是两年生涯合作在清奈拿下第五座双打冠军。(之前4次是97-99,02) 两人之前一次合作在ATP级比赛夺冠已经是2004年的多伦多男网赛。 Top seeds and home favourites Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes enjoyed the perfect reunion in the first week of the 2011 ATP World Tour season as they won the Aircel Chennai Open title for the fifth time with a 6-2, 6-7(3), 10-7 victory over Robin Haase and David Martin on Sunday. The Indian duo won their 24th tour-level title together and their first since triumphing at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament in Toronto in 2004. Later this month they will attempt to win their fourth Grand Slam title together with victory at the Australian Open. Two breaks of serve in the second and eighth games sufficed to secure the opening set for Bhupathi and Paes, but they were pegged back in the second set as Haase and Martin won the tie-break to level the match. Bhupathi and Paes looked in trouble as they trailed 1-4 in the Match Tie-break, but held their nerve to win seven of the next eight points before going onto clinch victory in one hour and 45 minutes. Bhupathi and Paes also won the Chennai trophy in 1997-99 and 2002. Victory for the 36-year-old Bhupathi earned him his 47th tour-level title and took him to 599 match wins, while the 37-year-old Paes won his 45th tour-level title in his 77th final. First-time pairing Haase and Martin had ousted second seeds Rohan Bopanna and Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi in the quarter-finals to reach their first ATP World Tour final together. The 23-year-old Haase was bidding for his first ATP World Tour doubles title in his second final, while the 29-year-old Martin dropped to a 1-5 mark in finals. --
